Such a lovely arrangement Julie. It has a lovely lacy look to it. Very nice indeed. I have never tried collage....but I will now.

I really like this Julie, all those different patterns in the background must have taken ages to recreate in oils. It's lovely! We are having a 'collage' day at my art group tomorrow, the theme is 'oriental', I have a few ideas but they never seem to turn out quite like I imagined!

Love your palette on this one Julie, an interesting and intricate painting.

I bet it took you ages to paint and it was worth every minute. A lovely, lovely composition and the background is stunning. Well done!!

Thank you so much to everyone for your kind comments. I did enjoy painting it, despite the time it took to do all patterns in the background.

Water based oil on canvas board. This is another painting taken from an earlier piece of work. Like the 'Yellow tulips', this idea was originally created in torn magazine paper collage on sketchbook paper and was scanned, printed and used to make greetings cards. For want of something better to do, I decided to paint the image in a larger format (approx. 30x40 cm). It kept me quiet and busy for ages!
